A Neighborhood in lower Northeast Philadelphia. Sandwiched between Mayfair to the North, Frankford to the West and Bridesburg to the South, Wissinoming, or "Wiss", struggles with its own identity. Known almost solely for its enormous park (Wissinoming Park of course). This park was once owned by the famous
photographer Robert Cornelius, who took the first photograph of a human. Also, although named the Frankford
Yellow Jackets, the stadium for this historic
football team was located in Wissinoming.
In the past few decades, Wissinoming's crime rate has increased tremendously.
